More Banjo: Week2 vs. Seahawks

[pbmax]

Jayrone Elliot, Starks and ARod are the game MVPs.

Honorable mention to RichRod and defense in general.

[red]

monty stepped up at the end

randall had that great play early, and we never heard from him again (which is a good thing for a cb)

mase is automatic

cobb had a big night over the middle

plus the guys you said

elliot needs more playing time, the guy just makes big plays

[Bossman641]

Interior OL were great. Tackles were OK for the most part with Rodgers bailing them out a few times.

Thumbs up to Starks for shouldering the load.

I think the offense is still learning how to play without Jordy. Could be dangerous by the end of the year if some of the young guys come along.

[pbmax]

Yeah. Monty gets an honorable mention as well. Randall really looks like he can play. HHCD looked much better tonight. They did not throw at Shields, did they?

[pbmax]

WAIT! Was that a fourth quarter comeback?

It was! 11 points in 4th, to take it from 17-16 deficit to a 27-17 win.

[Rutnstrut]

What about James Jones? He caught or drew PI on everything thrown his way. I really believe he is a solid, vital piece of this team.

Agreed. When Wilson started to take over the game, Dom dialed up some blitzes and suddenly Wilson had to perform with guys in his face. That's when he started to make mistakes. I would have liked to have seen somebody spying Wilson, but the blitzes worked out. Credit Dom and the guys for being able to change up in mid-stream. In the past, Dom could be as stubborn as Stubby. I hope this new unstubby Dom stays for the rest of the season.

He was a little slow to adjust - but even two TD drives can wake up a napping Dom.

The vaunted St. Louis Rams defense, run by the vaunted Jeff Fisher and Gregg Williams at the vaunted James Edward Olmos & Sons Dome held the Seachickens to 24 points.

The Defense carried the day in the first half while the offense figured out how to adjust after one monster drive.

It was good stuff. And with some more clean up, seems like it can get better. Even in mostly nickel, they were able to contain Lynch and wist.

Better news:

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 1m1 minute ago
#Packers RB Eddie Lacy, who sprained his ankle last night against the #Seahawks, could actually play on #MNF vs. #Chiefs. Injury is minor.

Is the MRI technician for the Packers related to Ian, or do the Packers leak this to him under orders for NFL Network programming.


In other news, Romo does not have the kind of clavicle injury that takes the special tiny instruments to fix. He is out 8 weeks. Cowboys will probably only be behind the Redskins by a game or two at that point.

[hoosier]

I find it a little shocking that (a) Lacy's "minor" injury would have kept him from weight bearing and (b) that any injury suffered by a Packer would ever be termed "minor" before that player actually returns to action and survives first contact. History should have taught us all by now that all injuries to Packer players occurring between the head and the metatarsals are potentially career threatening.

Not sure if you're being funny or not - but yes. high ankle - he's out 4-6 weeks. Low ankle or your regular run of the mill "Ankle" Sprain. Could be days or couple weeks. All depends on severity, person...etc.

[pbmax]

This game keeps getting more enjoyable:

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/21/pete-carroll-blames-officiating-mistake-for-packers-biggest-play/

He's already talked about how Elliot lost the ball. Now he has a new complaint:


“Remember when they got us to jump offsides and then they get the 53-yard pass interference penalty?” Carroll said on ESPN 710 Seattle. “That’s a total mistake on the officials’ part. We jump offsides, their offensive line, the right guard and tackle stand up, the play’s dead. That play never happened. It never should have happened. It would have been a 5-yard penalty. It would have been second-and-12 backed up with 30 seconds left. That was a huge deal to us. It never should have gotten to that point. . . . That was the biggest play of the game for them, really.”


Carroll also says the officials shouldn’t have ejected Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright for a skirmish that Carroll claims was more the fault of Packers tight end Richard Rodgers.

Must really sting, when you are used to being on the opposite side. Fail Mary.

[vince]

Pathetic. Petey should probably stop complaining about blown referee calls against the Packers. What a contrast of class compared to McCarthy from a few years back.

[red]

he was also throwing a shit fit in the first half and screaming at the ref that they "got it wrong", on the 12 men on the field penalty that was reviewed

the replay showed there was clearly 12 men on the field

the guy is fucking delusional

also, we see it at least once every two games where the team other then the one awarded the fumble comes out of the pile with it and no one gives a shit cause the ref already gave it to the other team

[vince]

wish that gif lasted a couple seconds longer so we could see Lang jumping in too.

Rodgers had Wright dominated on the play so he pulls that shit. Rodgers' retaliation is totally justified. I'm a big DickRod fan after that.

Wait. I'll never be saying that again.

[pbmax]

Remember a couple of years ago when they were all concerned about 'identifying the instigator?' Good times. Good Laughs.

And the move against offsetting penalties?

Although, I think this offsetting penalties PLUS ejection has promise. That was an unusual step for any crew.

Lang's hit was also much more tame than I remember the replay. I thought he clocked Wright at speed. He really just shoved him aside. Good for him.

Play the video.

[run pMc]

Rodgers had him blocked and on skates, and the Packers were in control of the game at that point...so it was frustration by Wright. Rodgers fought back as he should, you shouldn't grab another guy's mask/helmet like that.

Also, Pete Carroll is an idiot.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I thought the chinciest call of the game was at the end of the 3rd quarter when Pennel was called for lining up off sides. That negated Wilson's fumble and Neal's recovery.

Watch any NFL game --- any game --- and guys are lined up off sides every other play and no call is made. Seems very, very selective enforcement calling it on Pennel at that particular time.

You don't have to. The internet is forever.

That looked a little scary the way Rodgers' head/neck appeared to get twisted. Maybe it wasn't as bad as it looked. Perhaps the helmet twisted more than the head. But it might have influenced the ref who ejected Wright.

From Wilde on how Elliot got more snaps: http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/page.php?feed=2&id=21851&is_corp=1


Jayrone Elliott’s two game-changing fourth-quarter plays were the direct result of … Eddie Lacy’s ankle injury?

Yes, that was the trickle-down of the Packers’ two-time 1,000-yard rusher leaving the game in the first half with an ankle injury which, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, is not a fracture. Because when Lacy left on a cart during the first quarter, it was the first domino in a personnel chain-reaction.

With Lacy out, James Starks took over as the Packers’ lead running back. With Starks in that role, he had to abdicate his special-teams responsibilities. That forced outside linebacker Andy Mulumba to fill Starks’ spots on special teams, but because Mulumba was part of the linebacker rotation on defense, someone had to pick up some of those snaps.

That someone was – you guessed it – Elliott, who made a fantastic one-handed interception when he diagnosed a screen pass and then cemented the victory by forcing a fumble on Seattle’s final possession.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Now that Stubby has lost his beard, maybe if he cuts himself shaving, Jeff Janis will find himself in a game as a WR.

[denverYooper]

And Richard Rodgers >> Finley.

[denverYooper]

It's too bad the defense gave up that garbage time touchdown to Bennett in week 1, otherwise they're looking pretty sweet on the all-important ppg metric.

As it is, they look like they've started to turn a corner and operate more cohesively. When they adjusted to Wilson's running after the first couple of drives in the 3rd quarter by being disciplined and keeping him pretty well hemmed in, I felt pretty happy about that.

[pbmax]

Lang got fined $8681 for his part in the farcas on Sunday according to ESPN Wisconsin. Do you suppose the other guys will pitch in and pay it?

Lang is on his second deal, Rodgers on his first. Doubt it, but if I were Rodgers, I'd at least buy him a meal. It was well done by Lang.

[pbmax]

Montgomery will be Green Bay's #1 WR in 3 years.

Do you think he excels outside or just in the slot?

[vince]

Montgomery will be Green Bay's #1 WR in 3 years.
Nice. He could drop weight and be faster but I'm not convinced that's best. His uniqueness includes creating mismatches underneath, slashing in space and punishing DB's who are unfortunate enough to have to deal with him downfield.

Maybe he could drop a few pounds to ensure he doesn't lose a step, but Monty could be the Jermichael Finley that never was. I can't see him being the redzone threat perhaps (Ty won't be a slouch in the red zone though), but he's already a better blocker than Finley ever wanted to be. That's not saying much because Finley sucked as a blocker, but at the same time Monty's shown that he's not only as fast, but as physical as receivers come. He's already shown not only his skill, but willingness to get after it blocking downfield to help spring his teammates.

Adding Montgomery to the mix of Lacy, Starks, an improved DickRod (love that guy), Adams, Jones, and Cobb - and that's a group that can physically beat your guys in a bunch of different ways.

It's scary to think about how good they'd be looking right now with Nelson taking the top off of defenses too. Though we probably wouldn't be talking about Ty right now if Nelson were healthy.

[mraynrand]
